he went to work again determined to rebuild his
shattered fortune without delay. So great was the
confidence of the Connecticut Mutual Company in him,
and in Oh cago natural business centre, that its
officers increased his loans till these exceeded o

was long a standing indictment against the manage

North Cardinals Building Stones.
[From Salisbury Watchman.

[From Salisbury Watchman.l
The success which is attending the quar-
ries of brown stone in Anson county has
contributed to the establishment of this
new enterprise in granite. No State in
the Union offers so wide a range or so
magnificent collection of building stones
as does this. There are white and pink
GRANTEES in Rowan, gray granite in CASTOR,
red granite, resembling Scotch, in Wilson,
black granite in Anson, and other rare
GRANTEES in Franklin, Iredell, Orange, and
in many of the other counties which lie in
the great Azoic formation in the State. A
syndicate has been formed in Maine for
the purpose of purchasing and developing
North Carolina GRANTEES, and perhaps other
of the harder building stones. Mr.. A. @.
Hege, at Salem, N. G, has had some cor
respondence with the parties and is aiding
them in securing all the relative data.
They will employ $500, 900 In the organiza
ton, which will be used in purchasing the
quarries and in equipping them with the
necessary machinery. So far about twenty
reliable granite lodges have been described
to them, and they are still pursuing these
Investigations. 1t is their purpose to in
vest largely and it is also their intention
to study the subject thoroughly before
coming to decision.

periority had once more been asserted.
Quiet once more reigned and Henderson
county patriotic Americans had gained
a second victory over their old enemies.
This is, in the words of my friend, ''an
amusing and interesting incident 1t
teaches a lesson. Need | point out the
lesson2
1t is often complained that the day of
patriots and lovers of country has passed,
and that now all men are selfish and de-
void of patriotism. This is the false view
of the pessmist, and unfortunately we
have many pessimists among us. This
rude example of enduring and ardent love
for the old flag, for the stars and stripes:
this jealousy for its supremacy, asserted
in this harsh and perhaps uncalled for
way; this pride in Americas greatness,
manifested by these men, most of them
poor and uneducated, evidences the truth
that in the breast of our people the spark
of patriotism burns as brightly as when
George Washington led his forces against
the forces of CORVALLIS. And | believe
that the poor are more ready to fight for
this flag than the rich. Their liberties,
won by the Revolutionary war, are their
richest and dearest possession. If they
lose the rights gained in that struggle
they have nothing Their fathers bled to
secure to them liberty and equality;
they are ready to die to perpetuate it and
hand it down unimpaired to their children.
This incident illustrates their patti ,tism
and their extreme jealousy for the glory
Of the American flag.

Speaking of flag incidents reminds me
of the mcclure of friend who says that
nothing is ever done without North Calo
lina's starting it. He says that it is his
belief that all Cleveland 5 trouble about
the return of the Confederate flags grew
out of a conversation which he imagines
took place on Western North Carolina soil
Everybody will remember that General
Drum advised the President to return
the flags Now, who advised General
Drum to give tnat advice: That is the
question. Gen. Drum sometimes spends
a part of the Summer in " estern North
Carolina. Now what is more probable, .
argues my friend, than that while Gen.
Drum was i'll Asheville General Johnstone
Jones should pay him visit. OF course
they talk about the war. Gen. Drum says
that the Confederate flags are in the way
and asks what ought to be done with
them. They agree that it would fitting
end TO sectionalism if the President would
return them to the Southern people. The.
agree and drink to their health and mill
tary advancement. They say farewells,
separate Gen. Drum goes to Washington
He tells the President that there is no
place for the flags. The President asks
him what ought to be done with them
He gives the advice that has thrown the
Union into commotion. North Carolina
started it-as it has started every thing
else the argument of my friend, based
upon the imagination of a speculative
mind.
However it may be, l say: Let us have
an end to flag incidents.

Tie civil service reform rules of the
present administration really extend
only to republican postmasters and
such. Democratic postmasters, evil
IDENTIFY, have carte blanche for par
tisan work, and are recognized as
competent only when they prove
themselves partisans of the most vir-
ulent type. From the inception of
the present administration to the pres
ent time, all republican officials, par
tlcularly republican postmasters, no
matter how competent otherwise, have
been at once discharged as partisans
from service whenever they have in.
terested themselves in local politics.
A democratic postmaster, or other
democratic official, can be and must
be, to be a good democrat. virulent
partisan in order to win the love of
the democratic civil service reform
administration. Oh, consistency, thou
art jewel
